"We always go home," Kate says. "I grew up in Colorado and we always to back to Colorado. The whole family comes -- my brothers and all of the kids and at some point during Christmas we all get together and do that. The kids ice skate and people drink hot cocoa. We're [a] super traditional Christmas family. Mom and I decorate the house. We make snowmen- kind of magical."

Like all of us, Kate's schedule gets even busier during the holiday season, but she still took some time out to answer a few holiday shopping questions for Glam Slam readers. (Shhhh! Don't tell mom, Goldie, what Kate's getting her!)

Glam Slam: When and how far in advance do you start planning and shopping for gifts? Do you plan in advance and are all done by the time December comes or are you a last minute holiday gift giving shopper?

Kate Hudson: My gift-giving is very personal, so I start really early, usually around October. I love making gifts or finding just the right thing for someone, so I like to give myself plenty of time.
